Anti-Virus News

For some time now AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition has had intermittent problems updating. This also seems to be random. Some machines are working perfectly. Others are having problems almost daily. Well, this has been a great program down through the years. I remember they had update problems when version 7 was issued. Well, there's a new version that was released earlier this week. It is version 8.5. Please uninstall version 8.0 if you decide to upgrade.

Great place to download this program is MajorGeeks. There's a list to the left and you need to click on Anti-Virus. A new window will appear where you scroll down to AVG Free Edition. After opening this window download it from the Florida server that is at the bottom of the list. Why? It's the fastest server of the four listed. Then BE PATIENT. Don't click on the next page until the gray download box appears. Again, do not click on anything until the gray box appears. This is important. DON'T get in a hurry and download Spyware Doctor. You don't need it. It's on the splash screen where the gray download box will appear after a few seconds. Click on save and after it downloads open the program and follow directions. Don't install that stupid, unnecessary toolbar they offer. Just uncheck the box. Please remember that you download at your own risk and the beach house will not be responsible for problems, TARFUs or FUBARS. Here are some pixs with the appropriate places to click highlighted with white rectangles. Clicking on the pictures will expand them.









Hope this helps!
